For these bosses, AI is the chance to wire the toy steering wheel they play with all day directly into the corporate drive-train. With enough AI slaves, the boss can run the company all on their own: https://pluralistic.net/2026/07/10/posthuman-as-in-no-humans/#hell-is-other-people In other words, you don't need to be a solipsist to bet on AI. It is sufficient to believe that *bosses* are solipsists, who can be relied upon to empty the corporate coffers in exchange for worker-replacing magic beans. 20/
